Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My students are survivors--their very existence in my classroom is a statistical miracle. My 10th grade English class is full of inner city students who are the first in their families and communities to have any secondary schooling and are some of the few who dare to dream of college.

Of the 60,000 people who have entered this inner city school in the past 40 years, 2,000 have graduated from college. My student will succeed as adults, but they need exposure to texts that dignify their interests and ability levels.

We need 40 copies of the classic text, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to complete our study of survival and autonomy. These books will be shared by six classes and will service 150+ students this year alone.

You will help my students "survive" their circumstances. Your donation will make them college ready, life ready, and ready to turn over a new leaf in their communities. You can make a difference in these kids' lives.
